<p>I like the idea of them going after Thornton, since they would get a desperately needed perimeter player who could get their own shot off, but I think the Grizzlies would command a lot more for one of the league's premier power forwards.</p>

<p>Player efficiency rating doesn't equal the players production, just there efficiency. To think that Ed Davis is = to Zach Randolph as a player is a ludicrous statement. Z-Bo is a beast in the low post, those things are like dinosaurs nowadays, only rich Russians have them. </p>
<p>Throwing the ball into Zach and Gasol will help their offense, it my opinion that there should never be three straight non fast break possessions that go by without Zach getting a touch on the low block. I love Gasol on the high post but he needs more touches on the low block also. Zach and Gasol make a lot of money and they can only be worth it if they are let to earn it. </p>
<p>I'm so-so on the trade and I get it from all sides. I would have taken Larry Sanders and Tobias Harris instead. Prince is a good fit though and will be getting some set shots in the inside out game Memphis will be featuring more. So will Austin Daye but I would have rather had Jerebko.</p>

<p>I feel like they blew-up their championship chances by giving up Rudy Gay. They'll still be a good team but I dont think they intimidate anybody anymore. If they were to trade Zach Randolph (which would be soooooo stupid) it would be clear evidence that they are only interested in playing for the future instead of trying to win now.</p>

<p>I would think a team like the Grizzlies would be more interested in Thornton than Reke. Evans injuries and inconsistancies might be a big turn off, along with him becoming a restricted free agent this summer. Thornton would give them better perimeter scoring and a guard who can make plays if needed. Plus the fact that salaries would match strangly with the Evans + Jimmer trade, they would have to take on anothe player, like Salmons.</p>

<p>They will still make the playoffs,i like the addition of Prince,he's a savvy veteran,play solid defense and he can hit outside shots..But he wont be getting double team like Rudy use to.....Which will now put added pressure on Gasol &amp; Z Bo,becuz of the lack of outside shooters.....</p>
<p>Those SOB new owners will have this franchise back at the top of the lottery in 2 years...Hollins has displayed his frustration in public and now wants out...That trade was like a PUNCH in the GUT to team members,this was 1 of the most closest teams in the nba,everyone got along so well, now it's going to take them some time to get over this...Rumor have Randolph will be gone this summer if they can find a taker..... They'll still surprise some people in the playoffs,but i think Z Bo and Hollins will be gone this summer...</p>

<p>They are already in much better financial room then they already were with the two recent deals.<br />
I think they should be looking to add solid shooting/a playmaking guard off the bench.<br />
As already mentioned the one thing they certainly lost with the subtraction of Gay is a playmaking guard. I wish the Magic were more interested in Z-Bo but I can't see any reason why they should be.<br />
Tyreke and Jimmer too much for Randolph?</p>

<p>What would you guys say about trading Zach to the Kings for Thornton, Hayes and Garcia? Garcia is on the last year of his contract, meaning the trade would give the griz more money room, Thornton is a great off the bench scorer who love to hit big shots, and Hayes can help Davis develope and contribute with his defense.</p>

<p>I would trade Z-Bo and get something good out of him (6th man-caliber perimeter player?). The Grizzlies went this far to trade Gay, they might as well go full circle and make more changes for the next few seasons.</p>
<p>Also, It's clear Ed Davis is the future 4 for them and in order for him to be that, he must get minutes. You already have Z-Bo and Darell Arthur, whom are both already familiar with the system intact, ahead of Davis in minutes.That is, unless either Davis or Arthur come off the bench as a center, which is neither of their positions.</p>

<p>Afflalo might be available? I hadn't heard that before.. He ought to be pretty well sought after, he's one of the most consistently performing SG's night innight out in the league.. If this is true I hope the wolves give your bulls a run for their money..</p>

<p>I wouldnt blame them for deal Zach, who I loved from his Blazer days. They pretty much has locked up a playoff spot, so maybe getting Ed Davis starter minutes finally, this experience will help him out a lot. They will have to get back depth though so that they do not suck to the point that they lose their way out of the playoffs. Not sure who out there would want to add Randolph's contract though. Not saying he's overpaid, but no trade comes to mind. You mention Affalo and Evans, but I just dont see either the Kings or Magics being interested.</p>
